Muslim extremism and western intervention in Muslim regions have a very different character. Terrorism is meant purely to make people afraid and make them do concessions that way. What western nations do in many Muslim countries is trying to prevent terrorism. The massive difference in wealth between these countries then causes human lives to be valued totally differently. (In western countries, who cares about another dead Iraqi?)
You might thoroughly disagree with the way western countries behave in much of the middle east, but it does not have the sole intention of terrifying people. That's what terrorism does, and that is not what western nations do. You can disagree all you want, but attacks such as the ones in 2001 in New York, 2004 in Madrid and 2008 in India are genuine terrorist attacks specifically to scare a nation. That's not what western nations are doing in the middle east.
Having said that. I disagree on the notion that Arabs are terrorists. That seems to suggest that many Arabs agree with these attacks, while in fact Muslim nations often are the victims of terrorism themselves.
